BodyGard Hand-Powered Emergency Tool

BodyGard Emergency Tool

The BodyGard Hand-Powered Emergency Tool is essentially a hybrid of a swiss army knife and a survival kit. The gadget contains a hand-crank so that you can charge up the internal battery for powering the built-in bright LED flashlight, the flashing red emergency light, the digital FM radio, the motion activated security alarm, or the mobile phone and cell phone charger. And those are just the electronic aspects of the 12-in-1 emergency gadget!

The tool also contains a panic button with an extremely loud sonic alarm, large 14mm diameter oil filled compass, signaling mirror to signal for help, a handy storage compartment for matches and/or pills, an adjustable lanyard to allow you to tie the tool to anything you like, and finally a charging unit so you can charge it via the mains too.

Basically this gadget gives you a lot of useful stuff for any situation where you get stranded in a remote location. The one lacking feature that might have been a good idea is a walkie-talkie. It would also have been nice to have an electronic pest deterrent. However, it’s a cool little gadget, and only costs $19.99!

    I am absolutely surprised they were able to fit so many things into such a small gadget! I already have one like this that is hand-crank powered but it only has a a light and the radio. I would have never expected anyoen to add on a swiss army knife to this!
